I have known Dix for over 20 years. He continues to be a housesitter for my birds while I am on vacation in the summer for several weeks. My birds are always well cared for. In addition, he takes care of all inside and outside plants. I do not worry while I’m away because Dix is reliable, trustworthy and treats my home and my pets with care. I am happy to recommend him as a housesitter with no reservations.
